HAVANA---Cuba has reported a cholera outbreak
to international health monitors, with 163 new cases
this year associated with three provinces.
According to a bulletin by the Pan American Health
Organisation, island authorities reported on August
23 that the cases were linked to Havana, Santiago
and Camaguey provinces.
Patients who contracted the waterborne disease
included 12 travellers from European and Latin Amer-
ican nations. There were no reported fatalities.
In Havana, the outbreak was traced to two food
distribution centres, where corrective measures were
taken to combat the disease.
Cuban state media announced last summer that
cholera had sickened 417 people and killed three. It
had been unheard of on the island for years. In January
there was another report of 51 cases in Havana.
There has been no word since then about the
disease in official media, such as Communist Party
newspaper Granma.
But state television and posters in clinics have been
reminding Cubans of the importance of good hygiene
lately, as they typically do during the country s hot
and humid tropical summers, when diarrheic diseases
increase.
Last week the United States issued a travel alert
for Cuba due to cholera.
Cholera causes severe dehydration that can be fatal
but it is treatable if detected in time.
Cuban medical workers have played an important
role in treating the disease in nearby Haiti where
cholera has killed thousands in recent years. (AP)
